MUSIC AND PERFORMING ARTS
Embedded Files
We value music and all students at Taupaki School receive specialist music instruction from New Entrants to Year 8.
Children who remain with us from the first year of school become musically literate before heading to high school.
Opportunities are numerous in music and performing arts.
In addition to their weekly lessons, children have the opportunity to learn to play a variety of instruments, such as the ukulele and marimba. They can also become involved in our choir running throughout the year.
